This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $875,000.00 was provided by the Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. The award, titled "TOWARDS AN ENHANCED PHOTON DETECTION SYSTEM FOR DUNE FD3," is intended to fund research and development efforts focused on advancing photon detection technologies for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) far detector, with a project period...
This $177,281 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the construction and deployment of a cryogenic, undoped cesium iodide (CsI) scintillator detector at the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The detector will be used to measure coherent, elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, a process that can provide insights into the properties of neutrinos, dark matter, and fundamental...
This $180,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) will support research conducted by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) to investigate cosmic ray anisotropy using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The project aims to enhance measurements of cosmic ray mass composition, energy, and arrival directions in the Southern Hemisphere by combining data from various IceCube detector...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $184,934 to the University of South Dakota (USD) from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The funding supports research and development on large-size germanium (Ge) ring-contact detectors for the upcoming LEGEND-1000 experiment, which aims to detect neutrinoless double-beta decay. The principal investigator and graduate/undergraduate students will conduct this...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will provide $570,000 to the College of William and Mary to conduct precision studies of neutrino oscillations and interactions. The research aims to make detailed measurements of how neutrinos, the most abundant matter particles in the universe, can change from one type to another. This is a promising approach to look for new physics beyond the Standard Model of...
This $158,702 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support the construction and deployment of a cryogenic, undoped cesium iodide (CsI) scintillator detector at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The detector will be used to measure coherent, elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEVNS) as part of the COHERENT experiment. The goal is to leverage this small-scale 10 kg detector to...
This $397,005 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program supports the development, building, and commissioning of a modular, next-generation fast neutron detector array at Augustana College. The new detector, based on plastic scintillator and silicon photomultipliers, will significantly improve the precision of neutron detection and position measurement compared to current designs. This enhanced detector capability will enable more precise...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $480,000 Project Grant to the Trustees of Boston University to support research on the fundamental nature of neutrinos. Through this grant under the NSF Division of Physics' Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the university will implement major enhancements to the world-leading KamLAND-Zen neutrino detection experiment to search for evidence of neutrinos being their own antiparticles, a hypothetical property known as...
This $450,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will fund theoretical research and modeling to further the understanding of neutrinos and their role in multi-messenger astrophysics. Key focus areas include the physics of neutrinos from core collapse supernovae, predictions of the diffuse flux of cosmological supernovae, and interpretation of the observed flux of TeV-PeV neutrinos from outside our galaxy. The research aims to develop...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $448,521 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Michigan Technological University. The award supports research to enhance the neutrino sensitivity of the Pierre Auger Observatory, the world's largest operating cosmic ray observatory located in Argentina. The research aims to improve detection of ultra-high energy photons and neutrinos to elucidate the nature of cosmic ray acceleration sites and advance...
